Babcock and Mr. Luckey, private secretary, were assemble'd in fnll dresa for th purpose of raceiving the King. On th approaeh of hia Majesty's carriage, the President advanoed from the thresholdof theExecutive mansion, when the Secretary of State and Col. Grant, the latter personally representing bis father, went to the carriage and received the King as he alighted, and, aocompanying üim on either side, crossd the platform to the entrance of the AV House, where the President oordially extended his hand, received and welcomed the King. The other members of the Cabinet, standing I behind the President up to the time that iie turned with the King, then entered the room. The Seeretary of State then introduced the President to Gov. Dominez and Gov. Kapena. He then presented the King to members of the Cabinet, Gen. Babcock, Col. Grant and Mr. Luckey. The President and King shortly seated themselves on a sofa, and the other gentlemen moved at pleasure about the room and entered into conversation with one another. Gradually advanöing to where the President aad the King were eeated, a general conversation ensued.
